Set for surgery, out indefinitely Burton will undergo surgery on his left ankle Wednesday and there's no timetable for the starting point guard's return, per Jack Soble of On3.

Impact Burton suffered what appeared to be a foot injury in the Fighting Irish's 87-85 win over TCU. Now, he's set for surgery on his ankle and is out indefinitely. That's a huge blow for Notre Dame, as the junior point guard was averaging 18.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season. His absence should mean more minutes for guards like Sir Mohammed and Logan Imes.

Injures foot Friday Burton suffered a left foot injury in Friday's 87-85 win over TCU, per Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune.

Impact Burton's 10 minutes in the eventual win over TCU were a bit of a surprise, given that he had started the game and was averaging 32.3 minutes per game over the previous 10. The junior guard's injury now clears the air about his low minutes, but it's unclear how severe it is. He'll aim for a return this upcoming Wednesday versus Idaho.

Bounces back Wednesday Burton contributed 25 points (10-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 86-79 victory over Bellarmine.

Impact Burton was coming off a 14-point performance against Ohio State on Nov. 16, where he shot a dreadful 3-for-14 from the floor, but he bounced back admirably here. This 25-point output was Burton's best scoring mark of the campaign, and his usage rate assures him of having a decent volume in every game. He has scored at least 20 points in three of his five games so far in 2025-26.

Struggles with shot Sunday Burton contributed 14 points (3-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 64-63 loss to Ohio State.

Impact Burton is expected to be one of the most dominant scoring forces in the ACC, but that won't be the case if he continues to struggle with his shot as much as he's done of late. Even though Burton has scored in double digits in his four outings this season, the lack of efficiency is hurting him. The junior guard is making just 40.7 percent of his shots from the field and 30.8 percent of his three-pointers.
